The Good News: Project Runway Is Almost Over!

PART OF THE PROBLEM PR
Two bitches enter, one remains—icy micromanagers Victorya and Jillian stepped into the Fashion Thunderdome this week, as both realized their dreams of being in the final three. Unfortunately for them, that final three ended up being this week's bottom three. The design challenge was another shameless product shill where the contestants were to deconstruct denim and create a garment. At least Levi's has a bit more of a relationship to fashion than Hershey's.

Despite harping on the minutiae of construction details every week, our girls were unable to finish their garments in a timely manner. While in the previous episode they somehow managed to whip together three spectacular garments with their oxymoron of overefficient inefficiency, this week it proved too much to overcome. Neither of the women possess much creativity, so their initial inspiration for this challenge was the very trench coat they designed last week.

After producing uglier carbon copies of their previous design, both women found themselves in danger of getting the boot. Ultimately, Jillian was saved by the fact that Victorya didn't so much as design a horrible garment as she designed nothing. She attached an ugly skirt to a jean jacket. A jean jacket. That she didn't even make. And yet, it still took her two days to complete. Clearly, she was the only one going home.

Of course, since karma delivered a bitchslap to Jillian and Victorya this week, it must have had its hands full: Unbeatable cockroach Ricky not only managed to survive elimination, he also won the challenge. Ladies and gentlemen, when Ricky is the one winning challenges, maybe it's time for everyone to pack up their things and go home. [Fuck yes, please, can we? This show is killing me. —Ed.]
